I have been forever against Geet victimising herself. Do recall each time Geet denies her feelings towards Maan. The episode ( 128 to be specific aired on Sept 30) where Maan asks Geet to show up for a date. She doesnt mince words in telling that Maan has better options to be his life partner- someones who's life aint as complicated as her and someone who is "pure" and doesnt have any "daag".
That was super trash if you ask me. She had long since told Maan of her fake marriage, the cheat and the ignominy she her to suffer on that account ( episode 120). Why did she have to project such a lowly opinion of herself? Otherwise she has always held on to her pride and dignity, swabhimaan as she calls it quite often. Was that done to glorify Maan's character. That a man was accepting of a woman despite what society would call a " daman mein daag"? ...
...
Time and again on the show Geet feels sorry that she hasnt done enough for Maan as much as he does for her. That she has only given him problems and brought him miseries , that she has never given him any happiness , and thereby Maan is never at peace. Such scenes are more in number than the ones where Geet asks Maan to prioritise his happiness over her.
It all seems part of a bigger propoganda to want to deify Maan and such voluntary admissions by Geet a subtle means to serve it.

Now with the " sacrifices" he is making for the baby that is biologically not his and by exercising restraint his character is being put on a pedestal as if to worship the very ground he walks on.
I like your whole post, but I wanted to focus on this point of Geet lowering herself because "she has a past." The time at the hospital Geet first told Maan she loves him, she says the same thing. "How can you be so nice to me despite my past." I had made a post that day, even saying I was understanding when she said it on her date because of her background. But to have said it again, after all that, bothered me greatly. And the implication it was giving about women.
Like I said in my posts in that topic I made, there were plenty of times where Geet showed resilience and refused to back down to those who attempted to paint her in a negative light.
But then came the hospital scene which to me started this current Maha Maan we've been seeing these two months.
